Question

$$6x+7=17$$

Solve for x

$x = \frac{5}{3} = 1\frac{2}{3} \approx 1.666666667$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $7$ from both sides.

$$6x=17-7$$

Subtract $7$ from $17$ to get $10$.

$$6x=10$$

Divide both sides by $6$.

$$x=\frac{10}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{10}{6}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $2$.

$$x=\frac{5}{3}$$
